A strange pub this. From the outside it looks more like a fairly modern village hall rather than your traditional boozer, although it does have etched glass windows saying �Beers� and such like. It advertises itself as being family run, and although it�s a little out of town off the tourist trail, we thought we�d give it a go.
Inside it�s a little more pubby, but it�s not really to my taste. The flooring is all brown tiles and all the tables were laid up with menus and place mats, even though they had stopped doing food a couple of hours previously. There was a TV up in one corner showing Sky News, and a darts board at the rear of the pub. It seems to be very much for locals rather than the tourists, and they were all sat on stools around the bar.
The walls have wood cladding lower down, with maroon wallpaper above. The bar counter is wood panelled, and there is extensive wood panelling both behind it and on the ceiling above. There are a few black and white photos on the wall, along with what I presume is local artwork. There was some sports memorabilia to the right.
No real ales on tap unfortunately, just keg stuff such as McEwans and Belhaven. The solitary cider was Strongbow, unfortunately.

My favorite when I'm in Ullapool. Tourists don't venture that far off the beaten path, chows great and the natives are friendly.

i think i was a bit harsh in my earlier review. we went again and got a very warm welcome so please ignore my previous comments.

When in Ullapool, I LIVE there!
Oh, and the floor's NOT lethal, honestly.

MY Husband and I along with numerous friends have been to THE BROOM many times and can only praise the locals for making our stay very enjoyable. Ruby and her husband David make you feel most welcome.The food is good value for money.We have visted there many times we have always been remembered as soon as we walked in the `pub.

about as much atmosphere as a dead goldfish. staff were friendly though. the tiled floor would be lethal in wet weather i would imagine. ale was okay.

Seen by some as the most 'local' of Ullapool's bars, but I reckon it's one of the friendliest, if you're not shy. It is also enough of a walk from the rest of Ullapool's boozers to keep it hidden from most casual visitors. There's no handpulled beer. The food has a good reputation.
